Thank you for 6,000 downloads.
2.0.1 is Listen Together for real, a keyboard you can configure, and the first Linux and macOS builds beside Windows — all from one source tree.
Listen Together
- Jams now run on BitChord's own party relay: open a room and hand out the invite link or the short code.
- Everyone in the room can play, pause, seek and reorder the queue — not only the host.
- Followers converge in one round trip instead of arguing with the room, and a song change is announced at the position of the song that actually started.
- The entry point lives under Settings → Account.
Keyboard
- Every command is remappable in Settings, and the shortcut sheet (Ctrl+/) lists what you set. M mutes.
Audio
- Add-on sources accept this app again, so hi-res and lossless links load.
- A hi-res source link is tested before it is saved.
- Lossless and Atmos follow the configured preference chain; a sped-up or wrong-version copy is rejected, because the rate is read from the decoded FLAC frames and not the container.
Search and library
- Videos and podcasts interleave by rank, the top result has its own menu, and a row links to its album beside the artist.
Player
- Mini player: the lyric line rides above the strip, and the pin keeps it on top.
- Discord rich presence: title, artist and the full quality string.
- Automix and lyrics polish; the collapsed sidebar keeps the BitChord mark at the top of the icon rail.
Platforms
- Windows x64 and ARM64, Linux, and macOS on Apple silicon and Intel.
General
- Lots of bug fixes and UI polish across the app.
Known issues
- Linux and macOS are new here: these are the first builds of the rewritten backend on those systems, so there will be bugs. Tell us in Discord what you hit and it goes into the next build.
- Add-ons that use add-on authentication don't work in this build. A source that needs its own add-on key won't serve from it; plain public add-on sources are fine.
